The Spencer
family, their friendly black Labrador Annabelle and tabby cat Tanga at St Victor du Fau offer you
a warm welcome at their luxury and large Ariegeoise farmhouse. St Victor du Fau,
a typical Ariegeoise farmhouse built circa 1800’s has been charmingly restored
by its present owners. Deceptively modest in size from the front of the property, on entering the front door, the rooms are
large and bright. The house has been modernised and brought into the 21st century whilst retaining its charm and
many original features. Set in a gentle valley amongst the rolling hills on 50 acres of open farmland and about 12 acres
of woods on a "Reserve Nationale" (national park), at the end of a half-mile drive, only 8kms from an important
and medieval town Pamiers. The roads around the property were used
as part of the major cycling race "Le Tour de France" in the summer of 2006. The locality is a conservation area and
is outstandingly beautiful. It is an ideal holiday location for guests seeking peace and calm, in a rural
location, yet minutes from very good local amenities.
The self
catering Farmhouse Gite accommodates up to 5 people from May until October in 2 ensuite
bedrooms. The self catering Studio Apartment "L'Ecurie" accommodates up to 2 people in
September, October, November, March, April & May on short-term
lets. Longer lets are possible up to 6 months between September & May.
There are
2 Bed & Breakfast rooms which accommodate up to 5 people throughout the year,
except 23rd, 24th & 26th and 31st December.
Pets

apartment) by prior arrangement.

du Fau.
